Captivated!
My first time at Metronome and what an introduction. Linton Kwesi Johnson commands respect from the moment he enters a space. Perfect evening. Thank you.

The Genuine Article
There is nothing like hearing the narrative that led to the creation of a collection of poems that highlight historical issues to bring home the need for more cohesion in out communities. Having first discovered LKJ's poetry back in the 90s when I was studying post colonial literature as part of my degree, I was delighted to have the opportunity to hear him perform his poetry and meet him in person. On stage he has the presence and resonance to silence a crowd and leave them with a powerful message. Despite the horrors and the hardships, I left the event feeling exhilarated and hopeful for harmony in the future.
